WordPress Theme Detector (Including Plugin detection)

Carley Jeffrey

There are a few ways we can detect WordPress themes and plugins. We have a head start since we have thousands of themes and thousands of plugins in our database which not anyone could do. We won’t reveal every single method we use in our algorithm, however we will explain the most common method.
Within a WordPress website, there is a known structure so knowing what to look for in advance can save you a lot of time. Just look at the code of a given WordPress website, look for something like this: /wp-content/themes/themename/style.css?ver=123
and go to that file. Within the file there is a special WordPress structure that states the theme name, parent theme name, tags and more. Depending on the theme, there could be much more information and there could be less. As we said before, since we have lots of the themes in our database, if we detect a theme name that we recognize, we could give you much more information than the css file reveals. For that reason – even if you could detect that theme name on your own with out the help of a WordPress theme detector – you will still get much more information with the detector than on your own.
